Crafted by graphic artist Joshua Gibson and illustrator Steve McAllister, Jebediah is a feast for the eyes and ears and is sure to bring belly laughs to all who read it.___________

Author Joshua Gibson originally wrote this fantasy story at age 12, before the world required he portray a more mature front. Now in his 40's, he decided it was high time to let the silly back out.

Now finally developed into a graphic storybook, you and your kids can read it any time and share in the fun!

Jebediah Rufus: An Appalachian Tall Tale is written and illustrated as a new folk tale, a modern day take on southern and Appalachian folklore. But there is an unexpected developments in this story, and trust us...it's the kind of plot twist you will never forget! Stay tuned after the story for some (ahem) educational content and more laughs.

If you love American folklore, traditional stories, adventure, tall tales, and old-timey American and Appalachian culture, you will love this fun children's book.

***PARENTAL WARNING: Be sure to preview the content prior to reading: story contains potty humor, very mild language and a main character's untimely death (But hey, it wouldn't be an American folk tale without some dark topics!)
